Salmon with Tomato-Onion Relish
Ingredients
- 1 lemon, for zest/juice
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 6 plum tomatoes
- ½ cup cilantro, coarsely chopped
- 4 salmon fillets (1 ½ lb), skin removed
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
Prep
- Zest/grate lemon peel (no white; 1 teaspoon); squeeze lemon for juice (2 tablespoons).
- Slice onions and garlic. Cut tomatoes into quarters, then cut quarters into thin strips. Chop cilantro.
Steps
- Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Check fish for bones, then season with ½ teaspoon salt and the pepper. Place 1 tablespoon oil in pan; cook 1–2 minutes on each side or until seared and browned. Remove salmon from pan; cover loosely and set aside.
- Place remaining 1 tablespoon oil, onions, garlic, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt in pan; cook 3–4 minutes or until onions have softened and caramelized slightly.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add cumin, coriander, and pepper flakes; cook 1 more minute or until fragrant.
- Reduce heat to medium-low; return salmon to pan. Add broth and tomatoes; simmer 3–4 minutes or until liquid has reduced by about one-half and salmon is 145°F (or opaque and separates easily). Remove pan from heat; stir in lemon juice, zest, and cilantro. Serve.

- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
